I had noticed that it was based on fact, actually - however you do mention in your author's note that you altered dates and facts. For example, one of the most depressing aspects of the novel (it is being marketed as a novel, after all) was the life of Molly Johnson's illegitimate son and his time at the Foundling Hospital. According to the author's note, ''It is quite possible that Molly Johnson did have an illegitimate child but her association with the Foundling Hospital is imaginary.'' I took this to mean that the depressing details of his life were made up - apologies again if this is not the case and I misinterpreted the note.

|comment= Apologies accepted but I still believe your review to be unjust, unfair and negative. The book if you hadn't noticed was as much about the plight of the working and middle classes in the 18th Century as the upper classes, and though the life of Molly's son was imaginary, it was based on the life of a Foundling. Perhaps you should go to the Foundling Museum before making such sweeping statements, and of course check your spelling!!!!
